I'd rank CA:TWS at around 6th in my favorite marvel movie list after SM2,SM1,TA,Thor2 and IM3 (in no particular order). The visuals were amazing and while the direction of the story was somewhat predictable, it's execution was brilliant and the relationships between the characters just clicked. Judging from the ending I'm guessing CA3 will feature the winter soldier(bucky) again which is a great idea imo. 

 

One issue I have is that the movie was a bit long, over 2 hours I think. I was almost a little bored at times before the story dragged me back in. While I'm glad the plot didn't feel rushed it also dragged along a bit during the middle. 

 

Also glad nick fury didn't die was worried for a minute.

Excellent movie. Well connected characters. This is probably my third or second best Marvel movie tying with Thor. Really good story line. People who are always complaining about Marvel not doing the 'realistic' route like TDK etc well here you go. Its got that bit of realism while still conforming to the Marvel template laid out in their previous movies. 

 

I was slightly disappointed how Captain Americas' fighting skills were utilized in the Avengers. Here you have them in all their glory. Snyder needs to take note on how to choreograph the future Batman fight sequences cos this is how its done. 

 

Falcon, Nick Fury and Black widow were good. Good story development with them. 

 

Winter soldier was portrayed brilliantly. Man that dude packs a punch. Only gripe is that the movie is called Winter Soldier but yet its barely anything about him. Wanted more words exchanged between him and cap. Really get the emotion and intensity flowing before they start fighting at the end. 

 

Barely anything about Sharon. Is she related to Peggy in the movies? perhaps keeping that for a sequel.

 

Liked the mention of Dr Stephen Strange (aka Sorcerer Supreme).

 

I thought the length and pacing was perfect. 

 

Best Phase 2 movie by a mile.

9/10

 

Best of the Phase 2 films so far.

WOW they turned Cap into a fucking badass. 8.5/10

 

Aside from a few clichés here and there, this film is a a smart, fun, action spectacular that should please any fans of the franchise. At times I felt like I was watching Bourne.

 

Worse part involves a ridiculous scene with Falcon, Fury and a helicopter, but at least that part made me laugh.

 

8.5/10

I posted this link to my review in the CA:TWS thread, but now that we've got a "Review" thread, I'll throw it out there again:

In a nutshell, I loved it! Best Marvel solo flick since IRON MAN; cannot wait to see it again!

100% agree with this.Also those who weren't very found of IM3 and Thor 2 due to their light hearted tone will be pleasantly surprised with this film, easily the most violent of the MCU universe movies we've seen yet.

Best marvel film since Iron Man 1 for me.

Best Phase 2 movie IMHO. It is up there with Iron Man 1 and The Avengers.

I liked the soundtrack, it was different and kind of haunting.

Holy crap this is amazing!!!

it's funny how sceptical i was about a captain america movie when it was first announced, much more than any of the others, but so far his movies have ended up being my favourites. this was badass.

[mcclaine]

I like it, but it didn't blow my mind.

8/10

 

What i liked:

Nick Fury car chase scene. Well done, and fun.

Natasha having more screen time.

Redford as the villain.

What i didn't like:

The pacing of the first act. 

The CGI Porn Fest at the end. It's like watching the same scene over and over again. 

 

I would have loved if the second after credit scene weren't another cliffhanger, and instead a comic relief one, like Tony watching what happened on the news on his huge flat screen, eating popcorn and doing some silly remarks.

[Jessie]

I liked the after credit scene but there was no harm in just putting it at the end of the movie.

[mcclaine]

I keep thinking about this movie after two days, something that didn't happen to me often with Marvel movies, except with The Avengers and the first Iron Man, so this is clearly a good sign.

What is growing on me is the ballsy move to change the Status Quo of the Marvel Universe. Everything was getting very predictable and making SHIELD the bad guys puts (at least for me) a new ingredient on this Universe. It even made me catch up with Agent's of SHIELD show.

I'm adding an extra 0.5 to my previous rating, so it is a 8.5/10

I need to come out off the woods for this one.

 

It was one helluva of a movie and I agree with the statement that this was the best phase 2 movie and I love every character in this one and they seem to be connected very well and great storyline.

 

And last what an awesome post credits scene.

Can I put a BIG spoiler in this thread?

 

They fucking KILL Nick Fury in the first act!!!
